Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Unfair Trading Practices: Discussion

Ms Christine Tacon:

I do not know that either. That would come under the UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. I mentioned earlier that I have not been involved, nobody has mentioned to me and I have not had any indication it is doing any preparation for how it would adopt the EU directive if that should happen. I would find it very interesting as it is very different. Our legislation is about protecting the consumer and it was designed by the Competition and Markets Authority while the EU directive is coming from a different direction, which is trying to protect the final producer.
